Meet Samantha Siegel
CARMA Board Secretary & Thoroughbred Owner

Who is your favorite racehorse, and why?

Stormy But Valid—my first Grade I winner. And By The Moon—my first Grade I winning homebred.

How did you get involved in Thoroughbred racing?

Through family. My parents, Jan and Mace, met on a blind date at the racetrack… and the rest is history.

In one sentence, why is Thoroughbred aftercare a priority for you?

Horses are just like people and go through stages of life. First, they are a baby. Then they go to work. Some start a family, and some need to find a different job or just a good home with people to take care of and love them.

Just north of Santa Anita, Aftercare Partner Win Place Home gives Thoroughbreds exactly what they need after the track: quiet, structure, and someone who believes in them. They put in the training before adoption, so horses leave with a solid foundation and adopters feel confident—even if they’ve never worked with an OTTB before.

The result? Safer matches, happier horses, and more people saying “yes” to Thoroughbreds.
